💨 Abstract

The Waqf (Amendment) Act, passed by the Indian Parliament and assented to by President Droupadi Murmu on April 5, has come into force from April 8. The act aims to bring transparency and empowerment to backward Muslims and women from the community, but has faced opposition from various Muslim bodies and the opposition INDIA bloc who claim it infringes on their rights. Several parties have moved the Supreme Court against the law.
